Access Control System

Efficient Systems Pte Ltd has been providing time and attendance systems and access control systems in Singapore for almost 25 years. An mobile access control system is not just about using PIN, cards or biometric to access an entrance but also the need to know the level of security that one requires for the premises.

PIN access is the least secure. The user when keying in the PIN, may have the PIN compromised when some stranger memorised after seeing the user key in the PIN.
Card Access uses a card to gain entry into the premises. But there are many types of card formats and systems that one should carefully select as some cards may be clone or content read from the cards to duplicate to make a series of cards that could be read by the Card Access System.

What is Access Control?

Access control, a vital aspect of security measures, encompasses various methods aimed at preventing unauthorized entry. Leveraging technology, access control systems are employed across the security industry to regulate and manage entry through doors, buildings, or systems. These systems ensure that individuals possess the appropriate authorization to access an organization’s data or facilities. Advanced access control systems, such as those incorporating biometrics, go a step further by verifying the identity of users.

Access control system in Singapore plays a pivotal role in upholding building safety and security. These systems empower authorized personnel with specific types of access, enabling administrators, receptionists, and security managers to monitor the movement of individuals entering and exiting designated areas within the premises, while also safeguarding restricted zones.

We can provide access control system in Singapore that will cater to all needs. Example:

Building access control systems that can you can manage the entire building door entry access or entrance access. Using our Building Access management software, there is also a professional version which includes Door Access Control and time attendance system. This software will allow you to have full control over your door access with time and attendance management of your users. With our access control system, you can also set different level of users. For example, level one users are allowed 24/7 to all entries or doors with no restrictions. Level 2 users only allowed certain entries or doors and at only a specific time. And level 3 is where they cannot access any doors except a certain day. These are just examples of what our building access control systems are capable of.

The Time and Attendance management system allows you to set shifts, late or early criteria, reports and which entry or door they can access to report for work. For this time attendance management system, we can also have a report on the time they clock in and clock out and at which location of each individual user.

Efficient Systems Pte Ltd also provides Door Access System in Singapore. Single Door Access System is basically a standalone door access or door entry systems. it can come with a simple door access control and, time and attendance system. For a simple standalone door access system, you may have a software running on a PC with LAN connection or using a USB drive to extract your transaction log. You may generate reports too.

Types of Access Control Systems

• Discretionary Access Control: It allows users to manage their resources and restrict who can use them. It is usually determined by the users’ identities and permissions.
• Mandatory Access Control (MAC): The system administrator or security policy establishes the permissions for access. These settings are centrally managed; thus, users have no control over them.
• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Access permissions are distributed according to roles within an organisation. Users are given permissions according to their jobs, which streamlines management and upholds safety policies.
• Biometric access control: This technology provides high levels of security by authenticating users using distinctive biological traits like fingerprints, iris patterns, or facial recognition. It eliminates the need for physical access cards.
• Proximity access control: This type of access control relies on physical proximity for verification. It uses RFID or NFC technology to allow access based on how close an object or access card is.

5 Basic Elements of an Access Control System

• Credentials: A unique electronic “key” used by an individual to open an access control system-secured door. An electronic access card is the most popular type, although other options include a PIN, fingerprint, iris, face, barcode from a phone app, etc.
• Credential Reader: A device used to electronically “read” the credential(s) attached to the outside of an entrance.
• Lock Hardware: Any hardware for doors that electronically lock and unlock an entryway or door leading to a guarded location, such as security entrances or electric door locks.
• Intelligent Controllers: Boards or panels mounted in a building handle access control activity; the panels are connected to electric lock hardware, credential readers, and other access control devices.
• Access Control Server Computer: This is the central database and file manager that acts as the “brain” of the access control system, keeping track of all system activities.

How Does Access Control Secure Your Buildings and Doors?

Step 1

At the entry point, users give the reader their credentials (a cell phone, key card, passcode, or biometric information, for example). The user’s special code is transmitted by the reader to the door entry systems for processing.

Step 2

The door access system in Singapore verifies the identity of the user and determines if they are authorised to enter. If so, it signals to open the door via the network infrastructure.

Step 3

The different hardware devices can communicate with one another via the building access control systems. Processes like adding or removing users and granting access to particular areas during specific times can be managed by administrators. The software also maintains a log of everyone entering the building for monitoring and audit purposes.
